My husband and I are planning to go to Japan in the summer of 2012 and we are trying to pick when and where. Our tourist agency will figure out the "where". Some time in June would be the most practical for our schedules, and while we are there, we really want to go to an authentic, exciting Japanese festival where people wear their summer yukatas. What are some of the best festivals that are a must-see, when are they, and where are they located? Any information on this would be really helpful, thank you!
 
It is currently the summer of 2012. Did you mean another year?

As for summer festivals, dig into a guide book and do some basic research. Alternatively, go to the LonelyPlanet.com/thorntree web site and ask the tourists and residents there.
 
August is over and with that most summer festivals are, too.
I fear you area already too late.

There are many great summer festival in July and especially in August!
I totally fell in love with the "Gujo Odori" in Gifu Prefecture this year! Highly recommended!
